From the beginning of human history, individuals across cultures and belief systems have looked to the sky for meaning. The movement of celestial bodies and their relation to our human lives has been the central tenant of astrology for thousands of years. The practice has both inspired reverence and worship, and deepened our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. While modern-day horoscopes may be the most familiar form of astrological knowledge, their lineage reaches back to ancient Mesopotamia. As author Andrea Richards recounts in Astrology, the second volume in Taschen's Library of Esoterica ... |

Изданието е двуезично - на английски и български език. ... Драматическата поема Манфред е представително за европейския романтизъм произведение с всички характерни герои и мотиви - гордия метафизически бунтар и неговото страдание, доведения до степен на ексцесия порив към свобода, съдбовната, разрушителна любов, конфликта с обществото, бягството от социума и екзалтацията от природата. Романтичното неприемане на жанровите ограничения и стремежът към синтетични изразни форми водят автора и до уникален като жанр резултат. Въпреки че се нарежда сред най-значителните произведения на Байрон, поемата е обект на противоречиви ... |

A pocket sized book - 10 x 15.5 cm. ... Throughout his career, Charles Dickens often turned his hand to fashioning short pieces of ghostly fiction, and began the tradition of "the ghost story at Christmas". Many of his supernatural tales are presented here, including the brilliant novella "The Haunted man and the ghost's bargain", which deserves to be as well known as "A Christmas carol". While all aim to send a shiver down the spine, they are not without the usual traits of Dickens' flamboyant style: his subtle wit, biting irony, humorous incidents and moral observations. This & ... |

Високопланинска фауна в България има осем планини, високи над 2000 m: Рила, Пирин, Стара планина, Славянка, Осоговска планина, Витоша, Родопите и Беласица. В настоящия труд се проследява намирането на всички сухоземни Metazoa в българските планини над 1900 m. Според автора тази граница съвпада приблизително с горната граница на склопената високостъблена гора в България. В някои планини (напр. Витоша) тази граница не се достига от екотонните обитатели и, до голяма степен, от отвеяните случайни обитатели на гората. В други (Пирин) има иглолистна гора и над 2000 m, но това е изключение. ... |
